AND INTRODUCING.... "HARLEY ON THE ROCKS," by Zenobia Renquist aka D. Renee Bagby...*Contest*


Sneak Peek

New from Changeling Press, writing as Zenobia Renquist

Harley on the Rocks

Her heart has a choice between loveless sex or sex-less friends.

Harley's got the hots for her best friends -- two gorgeous hunks who're in love with one another. Helping them spice up their sex life can't be such a bad idea -- can it? Friends with benefits, nothing more.

Harley's heart has complicated the issue. She wants to be more to Koijirou and Davis than a temporary fling, but she doesn't want to ruin their friendship. If it comes down to a choice between sex and friendship, can she handle the consequences of the choice she makes?

Contemporary, Interracial, Menage (m/m/f)

Excerpt from ERIS ... Warning Adult content...*Contest*

She nodded but couldn’t help feeling sorry. Here she was with family coming out of the woodwork. All Lucien and Ranulf really had were each other.


Now more than ever, she was happy she hadn’t chosen one or the other and broken up their friendship. She still felt like she was coming between them though.


She couldn’t brood over it for long because of Lucien and Ranulf’s ministrations. She made a sound of appreciation and wiggled a little. “That feels wonderful.”

In a normal situation, one or both men would have taken advantage of her position. It didn’t seem like Lucien or Ranulf were going to try anything. They both kept their hands firmly situated on the lower part of her extremities.


That annoyed her a little. She wouldn’t mind if they did try something. She liked when they touched her.


“I think we’re spoiling you,” Ranulf said.


Lucien said, “There is no think about it. We are spoiling her.”


“Call it what you want. Just don’t stop.”


She shifted again and pulled Lucien down for a kiss. He obliged her and even traced the outline of her jaw with his finger, but that was it.


Thinking he just needed a little coaxing, she smoothed her fingers up the inside of his thigh. He sucked in a breath and grabbed her hand. She smiled against his lips and tried to free her hand.


“Stop, Eris,” Lucien whispered, tightening his grip.


“Why?”


Ranulf said, “I might get jealous.”


She smiled at him over her shoulder as she slipped her foot between his legs. “That better?”


Like Lucien, Ranulf caught her foot and held it so she couldn’t move.


“You’re not making it easy to keep this relationship a celibate one,” Lucien said.


“I’m not trying to make it easy.” She freed her hand from him then trailed her fingers over the


very noticeable bulge in his pants. It jumped beneath her fingers. “I’m trying to make it hard. Very hard.”


She was about to undo his zipper when Lucien unseated her and jumped off the couch. He paced to the far end of the room, breathing hard and shoving his hand over and over his head.


“Lucien?” She watched him with concern.


Ranulf stood as well.


Her gaze switched to him. “Ranulf?”


Lucien rasped, “You could tempt a saint, woman.”


“You’re not a saint.” She got off the couch and went to him.


He kept her at arm’s length when she would have hugged him. “You said you wanted to wait.”


“There are a lot of things we can do while we’re waiting. Those things might even convince me to change my mind.”


“You can’t take us both,” Ranulf said. “We still haven’t decided who will be your first.”


“Shouldn’t that be my decision?” she asked.

Getting to know Author D. Renee Bagby...*Contest*


'Home is where my stuff is'. That's Reneé's motto... one of many.

An Air Force brat born and raised, Reneé has traveled all of her life. She was born in the Netherlands and raised in Japan, Texas, Florida, and finally Virginia.

Her travels didn't stop once high school ended. She attended college in North Carolina at Elon University, graduating with a B.A. in International Studies and a minor in Asian Studies, Japanese concentration. And after graduation, she returned to Texas to start her life with her husband and rejoin the ranks of Air Force living as a military spouse. From Texas, it was off to California for four years where she finished her first manuscript.

It wasn't until she, her husband, and their two cats moved to Maryland—where they currently reside—that she submitted said manuscript to Samhain Publishing, Ltd. and received a contract.

Given her upbringing and the military tendency of traveling, Reneé knows a lot about adapting to new locales and being 'the new kid'. It's no wonder the majority of her stories tend to be 'fish out of water' stories.

Unlike many authors who said they had a love of reading and writing since a very young age, Reneé used to hate reading and writing wasn't even a thought. If it wasn't on TV then it didn't interest her.

All that changed when her elementary school held a reading contest. A gold medal was waiting for all the students who read a certain number of books and Renee was determined to be one of them. She received her gold medal and a love of reading. From YA Romance to Mainstream Romance, Reneé discovered an addiction to the happily-ever-after endings the romantic genres offered.

She didn't start writing until high school. Back then, her stories were a way to pass the time in class so the teachers thought she was taking notes. It wasn't until another contest, a literary contest, surfaced that she considered writing a story with a definite beginning, middle, and end.
While she didn't finish the story in time for the competition and thus didn't get a chance to submit it for consideration, her English teacher at the time—her very first beta reader—gave her the encouragement needed to keep at it.

It took a few years and many, many rough drafts but Adrienne was eventually born. And, as cliché as it sounds, that was the beginning of the end.

Reneé loves reading (romances and manga) when she has the time but finds she loves writing even more. Her imagination entertains her far more than anything she could find on television, though it is a lovely distraction at times. And, the writing community has introduced her to good friends who are just as crazy and out-there as she is.

Our SPOTLIGHT is on ERIS by D. Renee Bagby ...*Warning Adult Content.*CONTEST*


Eris (Eternal Truths Series, Book 1) by D. Renee Bagby
-- Interracial, Fantasy, Time Travel, Menage (m/f/m)

Time is on their side and they can be together, assuming the truth doesn't ruin everything first.

Immortals born in the thirteenth century, Lucien Riordan and Ranulf Styr have waited centuries to be reunited with their love. Want for her cemented their friendship through time even as it tore it apart. She changed their lives, made them want better, and they plan to show her that.

There’s only one catch—she’s never met them before.

Eris Brue is flattered by Lucien and Ranulf’s attention but they are her bosses. She doesn’t want to get tangled up in an office romance, especially not with two men. Their joint seduction overcomes her resolve and she gives in even though she knows they are keeping secrets that could doom their relationship.

Centuries of planning have finally come to fruition. Lucien and Ranulf have a short amount of time to make Eris love them, because once time has her, everything could come to an end.
